If so, you will be interested in an event on Sunday 15 September (further details below). The well known Malaysian human rights activist and lawyer Nik Elin will be speaking about her experiences of fighting for women’s rights.

Nik Elin has been actively promoting justice for Muslim women, primarily, and, also, champions other causes like the rights of indigenous people, disabled and migrant workers. Nik Elin is very vocal about the injustices suffered by Muslim women and challenges the Muslim patriarchy.

She set up Wibawa Women in 2011 as a platform for women seeking justice, especially in the Syariah Courts. Nik Elin sits as an Exco member of the Association of Voices of Peace, Conscience and Reason (PCORE) and is active within the various Malaysian Bar Committees.
